PFL claim filed 4/9, no payments yet. Normal wait time? Tips to speed it up?

Hey everyone, I filed for Paid Family Leave on April 9th and I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat? It's been a few weeks now and I haven't received any payments yet. Starting to get a bit worried... Anyone know how long it usually takes? Or if there's anything I can do to speed up the process? Thanks in advance for any help!

I heard they recently updated their system and it's causing delays. Might be why yours is taking a bit longer. Hang in there!

Classic government efficiency 🙄 Always 'updating' but never improving

For real tho, why do these 'updates' always make things worse? 🤔

Anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The whole systems needs an overhaul tbh

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose

Totally agree. It's a full-time job just trying to navigate the bureaucracy 😫

Moneynetwork won't release my funds - need help ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with Moneynetwork. They're refusing to release my funds and I'm getting really frustrated. Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do to get your money? I've been trying to contact them but no luck so far. Any advice would be appreciated!

Have you checked your account settings on their website? Sometimes there's a hold on funds for security reasons and you can release it yourself.

I didn't even think of that! I'll go check right now, thanks for the suggestion.

PFL application submitted in January, no updates or payments yet. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted my PFL application back in January and it's been radio silence ever since. No updates, no payments, nada. It's been months now and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on how to get an update or speed things up? I'm really counting on these benefits and the wait is killing me.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? I was stuck in EDD limbo for months, and their office actually helped me get it sorted out. Worth a shot!

I second this! My cousin did the same thing and it worked. Politicians love to help with this kinda stuff, makes them look good 😂

0 coins

Wow, I never would have thought of that. I'll look into it, thanks!

Just a heads up, make sure all your docs are in order. They rejected my claim cuz I forgot to sign one stupid form. Double check everything!

EDD Phone Nightmare: Tips to Actually Reach a Human?

Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my EDD claim. I've been trying to get through to someone on the phone, but it's been impossible. Has anyone had any luck recently? Any tips or tricks to get a hold of a real person? I'm getting desperate here!

I've been waiting for 3 months to get my claim sorted out. At this point, I'm considering hiring a lawyer. Has anyone gone that route?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with your claim, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there than through official channels. Worth a shot!

0 coins

Really? I'll have to try that. What's their Twitter handle?

@CA_EDD is their official account. Good luck!

PFL payments missing for Feb-Apr. Anyone else not received theirs?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL payments. I haven't received anything for February through April. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

Im so tired of this. Been dealing with payment issues since last year. Sometimes I think they hope we'll just give up and go away 😫

Hang in there! Don't let them win. We're all in this together 💪

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you initially filed for those months? Might be worth double-checking that everything was submitted correctly on your end.

0 coins

Yeah, I got confirmation emails for each month. That's why I'm so confused about the delay. Everything seemed to go through fine on my end.

0 coins

Hmm, that is weird. Definitely sounds like it's an issue on their end then. Hope you get it sorted soon!
